Allocate a space for the Wireless USB Host Adapter’s placement. Make sure you avoid the places 3. mentioned above. You will need to make available a USB 2.0 port on your PC where the extension/swivel adapter can be securely inserted and where there is room for the Wireless USB Host Adapter to be inserted in the extension/swivel adapter at a 45 degree angle. Use only the extension/swivel adapter to test at this time. Do not connect the Wireless USB Host Adapter to your computer at this time. If using a Desktop PC, do not use a port on the back of the PC. Select a USB

2.0 port on the front of the system to ensure a good line-of-site signal with the Wireless USB Hub.

Allocate a space for the Wireless USB Hub. During a one-time-only installation, the Wireless USB 4. Hub needs to be close to your PC. After installation the Wireless USB Hub can be moved to a more permanent location. Make sure you avoid the places mentioned above. Do not plug in to an AC outlet at this time.
